ECOOP'91 Workshop on Object-Based Concurrent Computing Geneva, Switzerland July 15-16, 1991 CALL FOR PAPERS AND PARTICIPATION (NEW DEADLINE) * Because the first CFP for the workshop, distributed in physical and electronic mails, was late, we extend the deadline of extended abstracts/position papers to MAY 24, 1991. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ * Another new information is that Professor Robin Milner will give a short lecture as an invited speaker for our workshop. * Other than the above, the aim and organization etc. of the workshop are as before, which are restated as follows. OBJECTIVE The workshop is organized to provide a forum on concurrent, distributed, and open-ended computing. We put some emphasis on conceptual, theoretical, or formal aspects, as well as practical requirements and sound experiences, since we deem that such a viewpoint is indispensable at this stage to investigate some common agreed-upon theoretical bases for further development. POSSIBLE SUBJECTS The workshop will comprise lectures by invited speakers, workshop presentations, and panels. Presentations will be made by those whose papers are accepted, with which we plan to compile the workshop proceedings. Possible subjects for submissions include but are not limited to: Formal aspects: general semantic frameworks, formal specification/ verification methodologies, type theories, compositionality issues in open distributed systems, etc. Models: persistent objects, composite objects, objects in an open distributed environment, transaction, etc. Language issues: design and implementation of concurrent and distributed languages, reflection, inheritance, constraint, real-time, optimization, programming environments, etc. Practices: distributed AI and distributed cooperative problem solving, object-based operating systems, databases, architectural issues, etc. ORGANIZER Mario Tokoro Department of Computer Science, Keio University and Sony Computer Science Laboratory Inc. WHO SHOULD ATTEND Researchers working on, or strongly interested in, the concepts, theories, and practices of object-based concurrent computing SUBMISSION Those who would like to present a paper and/or participate in the workshop should submit an extended abstract (or a position paper for participation only) to the address below to arrive there by May 24, 1991.
